Well, we failed. Wikipedia page deleted, project closed. If and when we get another source, I'll reopen this, but for now, it's closed.

Wasn't going to reopen this, but the page is back.
It's online here . Please continue to make it better.

any way to transition from a full page?
What is it that Wiki's mods have with it?

The consensus for deletion was that it was inadequately sourced. And it was. So we wait, and make the page better and better and better and eventually resubmit it once we have excellent sources.

I do agree that it is inadequately sourced, but it was a very comprehensive article. And the points you made about this being new media without adequate policies surrounding it was very true.

I've never been a fan of the whole slenderman wiki thing, but tbh the group effort you guys have put into this project has really made me do a double take here.
All trolling aside, great job, I hope things sort themselves out in the future here.

Awww, there goes my free publicity >.<
That's all I can really say. I said from the start that we were jumping the gun with this thing. Maybe if someone did a BETTER article (I still refuse to accept the one the Star Tribune did) or a book on him, fine, but the sad fact is, and again I've said this before, the larger world does not give a shit about Slender Man.
Regardless, this was a good page with some good info and I praise the editors, mainly Draven and Dazed, who put the endless effort into making it what it was. You guys did do some great work.

Yeah, that article made little-to-no fucking truth or sense with Slenderman and would've riddled and confused googlers for eons.

Well, thanks for being constructive with your commentary.
Except, oh wait, you weren't.
Perhaps next time you could try putting "being helpful" on your to-do list a little bit before "being a dick". And really, saying "little to no truth" is your one big downfall, because as I read it there's nothing untruthful about the article.

Welp, the wikipedia article may've hit a dead end, but I'm currently adding some articles to this wiki:
http://slendernation.wikia.com/wiki/Slender_Nation_Wiki
It looks seemingly abandoned, but I'll give it a shot.
OT: This will be my last post for a while. I start my sophomore year tomorrow. Wish me luck.

This is definitely an article I can get behind.

Still not enough to make it main Wiki-worthy, but I'll definitely be sourcing this in within the next day or so.
I could use any kinds of help.

Other article I didn't notice before.
http://thesheaf.com/arts/2011/09/13/youtube-horror-serial-marble-hornets-is-gripping-free-entertainment/
That's two extra ones since it was pulled down. I think it's time to put it up again.
EDIT: we can also use the fact that Enderman from Minecraft was named after Slender Man, which can give at least one other source and add a little more legitimacy to the article.
